Описание: Bringing a new cat into your home? If you are considering adopting or introducing a second cat, watch this video before bringing your new kitty home.

Dr. Marc Smith explains the 3-3-3 Rule for cats and how to successfully introduce your new cat.

The 3-3-3 Rule of Cat Behavior:
3 Days: Your new cat needs time to decompress in their new environment.
3 Weeks: Cats begin adjusting to your household routines and dynamics.
3 Months: Most cats feel fully at home and start bonding with other pets.

What to Expect When Bringing Home a New Cat:
Temporary hissing, growling, or even fights as cats establish boundaries
Shifts in your current cat’s behavior as they adapt to the new dynamic
A gradual improvement as the cats learn to coexist peacefully

Following the 3-3-3 rule helps reduce stress and gives your cats the best chance to become friends over time.
